Overview

McAfee Vulnerability Manager for Databases automatically discovers databases on your network, determines if the latest patches have been applied, and tests for common weaknesses such as weak passwords, default accounts, and other common threats. Vulnerability Manager for Databases conducts more than 4,700 vulnerability checks against leading database systems, including Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and MySQL.

Clear visibility into database vulnerabilities — By improving visibility into database vulnerabilities and providing expert recommendations for remediation, Vulnerability Manager for Databases reduces the likelihood of a damaging breach, and saves money through better preparation for audits and compliance with regulatory mandates.

Risk evaluation from all known threat vectors — Unlike other products that overwhelm you with a myriad of minor threats hiding the critical issues that must be addressed, Vulnerability Manager for Databases evaluates risk from all known threat vectors and clearly classifies threats into distinct priority levels, provides fix scripts, and includes recommendations.
